Games come with rules, specific vocabulary and a limited set of possibilities. They also come with a healthy sense of competition (or collaboration), all of which create a compelling case for including them in students\u2019 language learning experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to mention the fact that the Carleton Library has a <a href=\"https:\/\/ocul-crl.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/discovery\/collectionDiscovery?vid=01OCUL_CRL:CRL_DEFAULT&amp;inst=01OCUL_CRL&amp;collectionId=81461909660005153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Board Game collection<\/a> with +\/-50 games for you to borrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have set up the board games project so we will have a place to share experiences and suggestions for using board games to improve language proficiency.&nbsp; We welcome participation from language learners and instructors at all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"project-contributors\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project Contributors:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Barker<br>Jessy Belair<br>Leilah Biesler<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"related-posts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Posts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white cu-section--cards ml-offset-center  md:px-8 lg:px-14\" data-attributes=\"&#x7B;&quot;numberOfColumns&quot;&#x3A;&quot;1&quot;,&quot;blockBackground&quot;&#x3A;&quot;white&quot;,&quot;numberOfPosts&quot;&#x3A;6,&quot;moreButton&quot;&#x3A;&quot;none&quot;,&quot;currentPage&quot;&#x3A;1,&quot;blockType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;listing&quot;,&quot;contentType&quot;&#x3A;&quot;post&quot;,&quot;taxName&quot;&#x3A;&quot;category&quot;,&quot;showImages&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showDates&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showTimeToRead&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showExcerpts&quot;&#x3A;true,&quot;showFilter&quot;&#x3A;false,&quot;categories&quot;&#x3A;&quot;26&quot;&#x7D;\" data-page=\"2\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n                \n        <div class=\"cu-loading hidden text-center mx-auto h-6 w-6 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\" role=\"status\">\n    <span class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\">\n        Loading&#8230;\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n                                        \n        <p class=\"cu-no-posts \">\n            No\n            category\n\n            posts are available.\n        <\/p>\n\n                <div class=\"w-full max-w-5xl mx-auto overflow-hidden bg-white rounded-lg shadow-lg cu-stackedlist cu-component-updated not-prose\">\n            <ul class=\"grid cu-stackedlist--posts cu-stackedlist--1 md:grid-cols-1\">\n\n                                            \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                                    \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not to mention the fact that the Carleton Library has a Board Game collection with +\/-50 games for you to borrow!
